I'm just saying, that Obama is a Lawyer himself. He should be more supportive to the future of the profession.LLB2JD wrote:I'll just turn the other ear, or in the case, close my eyes, and at like I didn't see this... <<backs out of thread>>FighterPilotF22 wrote:Engineers and less lawyers.

Re: Obama said the United States needs to produce more....
actually an engineer at Ford would start at 50-60k...
this is a salary many lawyers would kill for ITE.

Oh, okay. I'm just curious where that came from and the context.

'The nation needs less of ME!'
-Obama
Don't we already have tons of schools like GA Tech, MIT, INCLUDING state schools that produce tons and tons of engineers?! I think the real problem lies in the fact that our manufacturing sector is going abroad. Love Obama, but I think this is a crutch statement for why our economy is doing poorly.

Probably from the same message he's been preaching since he took office: that the U.S. is losing ground to the Chinese everyday because the number of people majoring in hard sciences is constantly declining.StrictlyLiable wrote:

I was going to post something to this effect.

Re: Obama said the United States needs to produce more....
Obama has a strong distaste for lawyers, which is interesting as he went to Harvard Law so he must not have felt that way at one point.
Take this summer as evidence:
Barack Obama: "I really hope BP doesn't LAWYER UP."
He's used that expression many times, and has constantly referred to the financial people on Wall Street as well as the lawyers.
I can see his point on the issue. There are a lot of lawyers, and a lawyer is in many ways a thinker. They analyze, help acquire justice and promote a fairer society, but they don't create much. Engineers physically partake in creation.
Both are important, and engineers do make a lot of money. I think the issue is a lot of people become lawyers who don't really possess the correct set of skills to become a lawyer, but just think they're good at arguing or have no other career paths.
